Westlake families,
We had a busy week this week! Our 4th graders had a great time going to the symphony on Friday. We have some pictures below. We have enjoyed all of the volunteers that have come in to read to the students for March is reading month. We are also excited to see so many students starting to participate in our building reading fundraiser for March. Some of the students and classes are on their way to winning a pizza party and extra recess.
Dear Parents,
Westlake Elementary will be running a 2023 Reading Raiser from Mar 1, 2023 to Mar 31, 2023.
A Reading-Raiser is like a jog-a-thon, except your child will be reading books instead of running laps, and earning pledges based on how much they read. Everything is tracked online, which makes inviting sponsors and logging reading much easier!
Here are two videos that explain how to participate in the Reading-Raiser:
- How to authorize your child's Reading-Raiser account: https://youtu.be/X4KCsWBwA7M
- How to become a sponsor and invite more sponsors: https://youtu.be/NrUbWdEfy24
Your child will receive a private online account at https://app.readafun.com/ where he/she will log reading. Parent and student instructions on how to use the website have been sent home. Your child will not be able to invite any sponsors without your authorization. Follow this link to view instructions on how to use your parent account: https://app.readafun.com/guides/parent?d=436.
IMPORTANT: Readafun works best if you use Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox or Safari.
Unlike other fundraisers where we keep only 40-60% of each donation, our school keeps 80% of each donation using this program. We are really excited to promote reading and help our school raise the necessary money for our ongoing needs.
This year’s incentives will be that every student reading over 100 minutes by the end of March will receive a prize! Any student raising at least $25 will get an extra recess, and every class to raise at least $250 will get a pizza party with Mrs. Lamb.
Thank you so much for your support!
Sincerely,
Beth Buck

Lunch Money Deposits
We now have a Lunch Deposit Box right outside the cafeteria doors. Students can start to deposit their lunch money right into the box. Make sure all deposits are in an sealed envelope with the students name, teacher, amount of deposit and labeled "lunch money". If your student needs an envelope, they can stop into the office.
